The record-breaking K-pop boy group BTS recently celebrated their 9th-anniversary debut, and returned to domestic music shows after two long years.Owing to the high demand to see them perform live, the group not only made sure to increase the venue size for their shows, but also distributed pink roses to ARMYs, as a gesture of affection.As they took the flowers home with them, several fans discovered that the pink roses have turned purple - a colour of great significance, as it is associated with the BTS universe.ᴖ◡ᴖ@kkukstudiobts gave pink roses to ARMYs that attended the pre-recording today !125432195bts gave pink roses to ARMYs that attended the pre-recording today ! https://t.co/dTMTqtGRPIOn June 10, the group made a smashing comeback in the music industry with the release of their new album, Proof.

While gardening enthusiasts would know that flowers change color when they dry up after a certain time, ARMYs were left awestruck at the idea, which makes sense, given that the color purple is synonymous with the boy band.Back in 2016, during a fan meet-and-greet, when group member V saw a purple streak of light hitting the audience, he coined the phrase “Borahae” or “I Purple You”, which has now become the trademark way of identifying or showing love to ARMYs around the world.ᴖ◡ᴖ@kkukstudiothe pink roses bts gave on their music show turn purple when you dry them 17812635266the pink roses bts gave on their music show turn purple when you dry them 😭 https://t.co/9hFRMbw1h5Fans were overtaken by emotion upon seeing the meaningful gesture behind the gift.🎉💚ㄱㅌㅎ𐤀ㅈㅈㄱ💜1stArmyversary🎉@armhieko@odengpassingby 제 거요 이렇게 만들었어요 진짜 눈물나요 너무 예뻐요.3294597@odengpassingby 제 거요 이렇게 만들었어요 진짜 눈물나요 너무 예뻐요.😭😭😭😭💜💜💜 https://t.co/OrqfdOEkhvtddybae☽thv@candyxtete@kkukstudio Okay so three pink roses : i love youTurning purple after dried: for a long time..Now, join me in the crying session !!29435@kkukstudio Okay so three pink roses : i love youTurning purple after dried: for a long time..Now, join me in the crying session !! https://t.co/1eX9JqnG17◌@winterbeartaete@kkukstudio pink turns into purple! did they plan this or it’s just a coincidence? 🥺963@kkukstudio pink turns into purple! did they plan this or it’s just a coincidence? 🥺💜 https://t.co/qJXvq5AmHnBangtan Greenhouse⁷ 🪴@BTSgreenhouse@wintersnowflowr @kkukstudio It’s beautiful!
